Romberg - Serenade

6. Romberg - Serenade

Taken from Sigmund Romberg's operetta The Student Prince, this Serenade has since been tackled not only by Mario Lanza, but most operatic tenors. It's a sentimental number ("Overhead the moon is beaming!") but Calleja is careful not to let it get mawkish at any point.
